CHARLES EDWARD DIXON (BRITISH, 1872-1934)
A coastal stranding, with local inhabitants on the foreshore trying to assist
Signed ‘Chas Dixon 88.93’ (lower right) counter-signed in margin (lower right)
Watercolour heightened with white
23 x 34½in. (58.5 x 87.5cm.)
Wreck scenes are very rare within the oeuvre of Charles Dixon and it is worthy of note that not a single such work is listed or mentioned in the only book on the artist, namely Charles Dixon And the Golden Age of Marine Painting by Stuart Boyd, published in 2009.
Time stained overall. The brown is the acid from the paper coming through. Will likely restore well.
